One 77-year-old’s search for the truth: 9/11, election fraud, illegal wars, Wall Street criminality, a stolen nuke, the neocon wars, control of the U.S. government by global corporations, the unjustified assault on Social Security, media complicity, and the "Great Recession" about to become the second Great Depression. "The most important truths are hidden from us by the powerful few who strive to steal the American dream by keeping We the People in the dark."

Two days ago, September 11th, was 40th anniversary of the coup in Chile that overthrew the democratically elected Allende government. This coup has long been known to have been orcestrated by Henry Kissinger, including the murder of a journalist, Charles Horman, who was going to expose the truth that the U.S. already had "boots on the ground." Was it a coincidence, or something more sinister, that on the very day of this anniversary John Kerry was getting advice from Kissinger, the war criminal.
